| Here's the wildest yarn you'll read all day, bar none.
US arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby – literally a place you go to buy craft supplies and sewing kits –has agreed to pay $3 million to the government and hand over thousands of illicit Iraqi artefacts. Yes, you read that right: illegal Iraqi artefacts.
not quite like this, but close
The agreement to hand over the goods came after the Department of Justice lodged a civil forfeiture action via a civil suit which the company was almost certain to lose.
